DESCRIPTION:

The Tasmanian Devil is never mistaken to be another animal, because it is the only animal with a spine-curdling scream. Foreign settlers called it "The Devil". 

The Tasmanian Devil can grow to 1.1 meters long, up to 80 cm tall and looks pretty much like a small wolf. It is the size of a small terrier dog and weighs in between  6-8 kg. It is normally black with a white ring around its neck. The Tasmanian Devil has an extremely powerful jaw and a very powerful head with very pointy, sharp teeth.

Transportation:

A young Tasmanian Devil can climb very well. Older Devils cannot do it as well as young Devils. They use their huge footpads on their back-legs as contact grips which helps them climb over rocks in order to get to places quicker. The Devils can also swim very well. However, if the female has a baby in her pouch, they do not swim long distances, (only short distances). This allows them, to get away from some predators.

The Devil is nocturnal. In the day it hides in a den or dense bush. It usually ambles, but can run very fast if needed. It roams dirt tracks in search of food. 

This is a male and a female breeding.

The female can have 4 joeys a year, but the average is 2 or 3.  There are about 4 teats in the pouch.  They normally breed in March and the joeys are born in April. The joeys are carried around in the mum's pouch for four months. 

Tasmanian Devils only fight (or kill, scar or make the enemy faint) when an enemy is stealing its food. The males are more aggressive than the females.
